Busted Manifold fitting
There's a fitting towards the back of the intake manifold, right next to the distributor. A hose was fitted to this and hooks into a t with one of the heater hoses.
Well, the hose with fitting broke off while I was putting in a new coil and distributor cap. Whatever the fitting was, it was corroded very badly. Looks like it was a pipe fitting of some kind, but it's totally destroyed now.
Anyone have the measurements of one of these?

Yeah those always do that.
It used to be ½" pipe. It'll take some drilling and tapping to restore it to usefulness though.
Although, I've seen someone have success by tapping its remains out to (I think) 3/8" pipe, and screwing a new adapter of that size into it....
